What was the lie?
One of them was "changed geometry!!!"
While that is technically false, the final image does look different than the original geometry.
IDK about that, we need to see more to definitely confirm or deny that. I don't think nvidia is any more reliable of a narrator than the detractors in this.
Yes they are all AI but only DLSS 5 is generative AI, that is not trying to reconstruct what's there but make up new details.
This looks like a photo of a real person.
Wow, I just found out that is a guy. Wow.
Blame square enix. It didn’t change his face geometry. The main difference is shading and skin texture and the materials of his clothes.
couldn’t a screen filter change the frame to appear to have more geometry?
Shading can definately do that. Reference the asian chick makeup videos for evidence.
Of course. This was one of those things that people decided was bad and thus with minds already made up they go looking for proof of their preconceived notion, not looking for evidence with an open mind. I mean hell, we saw all kinds of shit straight out made with other AIs to shit on it, which is hilarious to me: "I hate AI generated slop, so I'm going to use an AI to make AI generated slop to make a strawman to prove my point in this argument!" It's never done in good faith, always as a "my preconceived notion is right, and thus anything that supports it is correct, anything that challenges it is wrong."
It a far to vocal minoity.
As a typical racist American young Asian men often look effeminate to me. Case in point:
So literally not generative AI. There is no need to fanboy so hard that you misrepresent things. No one would normally call a machine learning based upscaler generative AI. DLSS pre 5 is an upscaler / frame interpolator nothing more, it does not try to make up details that were never there originally, it tries to fill the missing data between two existing pixels / frames. A wholly different concept than DLSS5 which is putting a completely new facade on things. Whether you like the results or not there a significant difference. I'm not against it, but not acknowledging this fundamental difference just gives ammo to the detractors.
This is my assessment as well, it is great for random NPCs, but for named main characters if you dial it up it fundamentally changes how they look, not to mention that it seems to add 15-20 years to everyone's age. And if it is dialed down enough so it doesn't make the character look like a completely different person then the effects are so minimal that it hardly justifies using it at all.
But if you dial it back low enough to the point where it is not uncanny then there is barely any effect and it does not make it anywhere near photorealistic, so it does not justify the performance hit.
Except it looks nothing like the person it supposed to be.
Sorry, why blame square enix? Everyone can tell it's a twink in the original, so if nvidia's magic AI turns it into a girl that's clearly their fault.
I am assuming that is due to uncanny valley effect. To your brain(?), characters look almost human-like in appearance, but your brain notices that's not how actual humans animate.
30 series doesn’t do FP8. Someone made it work at single digit fps. 40 and 50 series perform similarly, but 40 series other than the 4090 is vram constrained.
I have been flipping through the pages of this thread and was genuinely perplexed as to why this AI crap keeps drawing Cloud as a female? Yes, he has long hair, but that should quantify him as being a female to an AI right? Whatever. Guess its back to pixel games until they decide to invade the sacred realm. Yes, I know about Lossless Scaling.
Filling in the gap between two pixels = interpolation. Completely making up (Guessing) the details is generative AI. They are fundamentally different. It's neither a good nor a bad thing in of itself, so IDK why deny it.
